Formative Film Season

Repulsion - Plus Q&A

With special guest, 70s punk icon, Jordan Mooney.

Director:Roman Polanski

Cast includes:Catherine Deneuve

A chilling tale of psychosis. Catherine Deneuve is Carol, a fragile, frigid young beauty cracking up in her London flat when left alone by her vacationing sister. She is soon haunted by spectres real and imagined, and her insanity grows to a violent, hysterical pitch. Thanks to its disturbing detail and Polanski’s adeptness at turning claustrophobic space into an emotional minefield, Repulsion is a surreal, mind-bending odyssey, remaining one of cinema’s most shocking psychological thrillers.

Formative Films invites special guests to present a film that was influential to their lives and to share the reasons for their choice.

We welcome Jordan Mooney, noted for her work with Vivienne Westwood in the 1970s, icon of the London punk subculture to introduce her choice of film: Repulsion.
